Batang Seterap and 50 years old Chinese Grocery Store

This is the Batang Seterap, which is a small tributary of the Batang Lupar. 





You can use a boat from here to Lingga Town, which takes about 1 hour of speedboat ride. 
This is a very rural place, there is only longhouse available here, there are no power or water supply from the government. And surprisingly there is actually a grocery store which runs by an old Chinese couple, both of them have been staying and running the business for more than 50 years. 






The old man said that their children are all married and stayed in the city, will come and visit them every now and then. He and his wife had already get used to life here and will continue to stay here.

That is not a bad lifestyle. As long as you are healthy and no need to visit doctors.
Great post ! I love these small towns and villages.
